Testing Handlers

ColdBox offers two approaches to testing your event handlers:

Integration Testing : Tests everything top-down in your application

Handler Testing : Like unit testing for handlers

The main difference is that integration testing will virtually create your application and execute the event you want. Thus, loading everything in a typical request and simulate it. This is a fantastic approach as it lets you test like you would from a browser. The handler testing just tests the event handler in isolation much like unit testing does.
